episode should have at least included whole chapter or else anime is going to have more episode than the chapters of manga ig. Maybe i can be wrong i read manga long time ago like a week ago so i don't remember . All that said episode was good tho.

Anime is adapting the novels, not the manga. The story diverges later on, so manga readers will be blind in the last 1/4 of the anime.
Shit i have to read ln then :(

It's worth it, the prose is very well written and it does a lot better in establishing the story as a dark fantasy while still adding comedy by showing perspectives and monologues of side characters

It's cute how our MC is trying his best to look like an idiot but he is actually is one(not really but somewhat).

I have mixed feelings on this series, the whole want to be a mob character trait I struggle to enjoy and this one is heavy on that.
But the storyline outside of this trait is good so far. So I am half enjoying it and half not.

Good episode, The entry of shadow was really good and the diabolos mystery is also interesting, excited to see the next episode.
I give it 6/10.

HanaKana nailed Alexia's agony filled lines this episode. The pacing here was all over the place and felt like the studio crammed a little bit too much of the story. While most of the WN, LN, or Manga followers might still appreciate this episode, I feel that the first time watchers were dumped a bit too much with info and won't get the subtle nuances of the world's lore. While I feel that it was a rushed episode it was still a good one.

btw Beta was awesome but too little Delta shown in this episode. The next episode will continue where it left off and will be awesome (hope more Delta is shown). And seriously, HanaKana does an excellent Alexia.

Sooo uhhh, the torture scene in episode 4. Yes, spoilers. If you want to watch this episode, but haven’t yet, don’t read this. This is something i’ve seen noone mention, it has been bugging me for a good while - the last 24 hours.
Do you guys remember the overly edgy torture scene where the white girl princess (don’t remember her name, sorry) gets her clothes torn appart every next scene?
Yes, you do.
So to get to the most important question…Was he making her eat cum o_o
I am going to say it again.
Was he just making her drink cum.
Am i retarded, or was she just drinking very grayish, weird consistency porrige and making weird noises while doing it, twisting her legs.
I sure laughed a lot while this aired, still couldn’t help myself from wondering.
Come at me guys and help me understand >.>

The mob thing is hilarious, it's absolutely mental how far he's willing to go just to play the perfect cover identity of the "eminence in shadow".
If you reply back to me and I never respond, I lost interest and don't care. Sorry about that.

Using the same hideout that they used to house Cid's sis as well. Man these guys aren't really bright aren't they. Despite the situation Alexia sure was calm about it. These knights really didn't waste time in getting physical. Somehow from Alexia's words I imagined that her sister didn't really like her that much. But from her scenes it seems that she was mistaken for Iris cares about her deeply. Its nice to see Alpha again. The shadow collection though looking pricy does indeed look cool. But Cid must have relished taking down the knights that gave him that much pain during their interrogation of him. Being kind can sometimes bring you surprising rewards huh. Didn't take a genius to realize that the fiancée was the main plotter but man that guy really is scum. All he has is ambition thats gained by harming those around him. Looking forward to seeing how Cid would beat the hell out of him.

The "torture" scene was probably one of the funniest ive seen in a long time LMAO.

Cid's desire to pretend to be a "mob character" is so strong that he is unironically funny when he makes fun of that trope.

The end of the episode implies that Cid is actually gonna face a small challenge or they will just make the fight a massacre (which is what i want personally) Either way i think it will be funny.

Honestly I think the most interesting fact that I have noticed so far is that all of his delusions end up becoming true. Maybe this chuunibyou Chad is omnipotent and doesnt even realize it.

This scenario is straight out of hentai, that shit was probably just a rice porridge. Dunno why the anime try to make her seems like "mind broken", she's still quite chill right before the monster freed her.

I think OP is overthinking it just a little bit here personally. IF it was suppose to be a "hentai scene" then it didnt do that good of a job since hardly anybody is brining it up.

Very possible indeed. It was just a theory on my part so if I end up being correct this would be one of my proudest predictions LOL.

Silliness is well and good, but I would have liked if the show did a bit more to justify why Cid doesn't believe the stuff clearly happening around him. Especially when he so calmly accepts the least believable thing, his overwhelming power.

I dunno, I still think that director is doing a really poor job on the series. Maybe it’s his inexperience.

The show itself is at least fun and entertaining but nothing special or great.

the ending got me really hype the "acting" played by the MC was really funny. Also when he was making that room, how much money did he get from the FM?? I know he has more income but like how much did he really need those gold coins he is rich.
